| The First Week of September, 2024 | 01 Sep 2024 | 01:09:05 | |
Positively Trek 283: The First Week of September, 2024 The Week Everything Changed - “Past Tense” Parts 1 & 2 It’s the morning of Monday, September 3rd. Podcasters Dan and Barry have decided to record Positively Trek in the early morning hours before work. However, they don’t realize that events have taken place thousands of kilometers away that will change everything forever, thanks to one man: Gabriel Bell. In this episode of Positively Trek, we’re doing something a little different in honor of the impending Bell Riots and the upending of life as we know it! The first half of this episode is a bit of an improv exercise in which we live through the events of September 1-3, 2024 in the Star Trek universe. In the second half, we talk about the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes “Past Tense” parts 1 & 2 and the real world implications of the story.

| Star Trek in the Wild | 15 Aug 2024 | 00:49:46 | |
Positively Trek 282: Star Trek in the Wild Making Trek Connections in Unexpected Places Sometimes as Star Trek fans, it can feel like we’re all alone in our fandom. Certainly, online spaces have changed this quite a bit, but in our day-to-day lives, it often feels like we are the only Star Trek fan around. But then, the unexpected happens and you make a surprise connection with another Trekkie, Trekker, or casual Star Trek fan, and it suddenly feels like you’ve made a friend for life! In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan discuss those times when we’ve made surprise connections with fellow Star Trek fans “in the wild.” We also talk about some stories that were shared with us in the Star Trek Forever Facebook group!

| Book Club: The Story We Didn’t Know We Wanted | 13 Jun 2024 | 01:17:45 | |
Positively Trek 273: Book Club: The Story We Didn’t Know We Wanted Dayton Ward: Pliable Truths When Star Trek: Deep Space Nine hit our television screens in 1993, we were introduced to the planet Bajor, the end of the Cardassian Occupation, and a cast of colorful characters that were very different from the sanitized Starfleet environment of the Enterprise-D on Star Trek: The Next Generation. But what happened just before “Emissary”? How did Starfleet establish a presence in the Bajoran system? How was the withdrawal negotiated? Why did O’Brien decide to transfer to DS9? All of these questions and more are finally answered, over 30 years later, thanks to Dayton Ward’s latest Star Trek novel. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are once again joined by New York Times Bestselling author Dayton Ward to discuss his new novel, Star Trek: The Next Generation: Pliable Truths. We talk about the story of the transition from TNG to DS9 that we have been waiting decades to read!

| Book Club: Terok Nor - Day of the Vipers | 18 Feb 2022 | 01:08:54 | |
Positively Trek 177: Book Club: Terok Nor - Day of the Vipers This Book’s Not Gonna Have a Happy Ending
The Occupation: its legacy looms large over the entire Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series, with the scars of that brutal era still felt by Bajor years later. However, not much has been told about the start of the occupation; what was Bajor like before the Cardassians came? What drove Cardassia to commit the crimes of the occupation? The subject of this week’s Book Club episode explores these questions and more!
Before we finish with The Lost Era, there are just three more books to cover: The Terok Nor trilogy, chronicling the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Bruce talk about the first of these: Day of the Vipers by James Swallow. We discuss the characters both familiar and new, life on Bajor prior to the occupation, the state of Cardassia, dramatic irony, personal stories, scapegoats, the rise of the occupation, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

| Officer, Widower, Father, Mentor, Emissary | 16 May 2024 | 01:20:01 | |
Positively Trek 271: Officer, Widower, Father, Mentor, Emissary Benjamin Sisko: A Deep Dive In the 90s, the question in Trek fandom invariably was: Kirk or Picard? After watching seven seasons of Deep Space Nine, I knew what my answer was: Sisko. Beginning in season one, this commander took a dilapidated waystation at the edge of the frontier and turned it into a hub for science, commerce, and Federation authority against the impending Dominion threat. Along the way, he faced trials (and tribble-ations), threats to his values and integrity as a Starfleet officer, and had to contend with being a religious figure to the Bajorans. Through politics, rebellion, war, and strife, Captain Benjamin Sisko emerged as one of the great heroes of the Federation. In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry discuss the commanding officer of Deep Space Nine. What made Benjamin Sisko the man who would discover the Bajoran wormhole, lead fleets of starships against the Dominion and Cardassians, maintain peace on Bajor despite the machinations of power-hungry despots, and ultimately battle the pah-wraiths in the fire caves of Bajor and ascend to the revered Celestial Temple? We share our thoughts on this singularly incredible Star Trek character.

Positively Trek 155: Book Club: The Buried AgePicard as Indiana Jones? While billed as a Star Trek: The Next Generation novel, The Buried Age by Christopher L. Bennett is also labelled “A Novel of The Lost Era,” continuing the stories set between the end of the classic Star Trek films and the beginning of TNG and “Encounter at Farpoint.” In the pages of this millennia- and epoch-spanning story, we learn a great deal about the history of our galaxy and what made Captain Jean-Luc Picard into the man we see at the beginning of his journey aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss The Buried Age. We talk about The Battle of Maxia, Picard’s trial, a quest to discover hidden secrets of the galaxy’s past, the mysterious Ariel, the measure of a man, the lessons learned in this story, the origins of Picard’s crew, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings for The Buried Age.

For 20 years, the “novelverse” has presented us with a unique opportunity to grow the Star Trek universe outside the films and television that make up “canon,” with authors given unprecedented freedom to take the stories of the TNG era in new and exciting directions. After all, there was no way that televised Trek would ever return to the 24th century… right? Well, all of that changed with Star Trek: Picard, which meant that in order to line up with canon, the novelverse would have to be fixed. That fix comes in three parts, with the Star Trek: Coda trilogy by authors Dayton Ward, James Swallow, and David Mack. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Bruce sit down with Dayton Ward to discuss Moments Asunder, the first book of the Coda trilogy. We talk about a story 20 years in the making, Dayton’s collaborators, Wesley Crusher, the big baddies of the novel, shocking story moments, swinging for the fences, and wrap up with our final thoughts and where Dayton can be found online and what he’s working on next.

| Book Club: The Autobiography of Mr. Spock | 08 Oct 2021 | 01:02:52 | |
Positively Trek 147: Book Club: The Autobiography of Mr. SpockWith special guest Una McCormack! There are not many people who can be said to have influenced centuries of galactic politics and shaped the very foundations of the Federation. Described by Starfleet Admiral Brackett as “one of our most celebrated Ambassadors and advisors to Federation leaders for generations,” Spock has been one of the most revered and influential voices in Federation history. Now, available for the first time ever: his life, in his own words. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Bruce and Dan sit down with the “editor” of The Autobiography of Mr. Spock, Una McCormack! We talk about the concept of a “wisdom book,” Spock’s struggles while growing up, his childhood with his brother and sister, his time on the Enterprise, his role as both a successful and unsuccessful mentor, his 24th century exploits, his relationship with James T. Kirk, and wrap up with our final thoughts and where Una can be found online and what projects she is currently working on.

| The Vibe That Is Data | 19 Apr 2024 | 01:00:43 | |
Positively Trek 269: The Vibe That Is Data Part 2: Data in Nemesis, Picard, and Beyond… Warning: This episode contains spoilers for all three seasons of Star Trek: Picard, as well as minor spoilers for the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s fifth and final season. Data is one of the most enduring and beloved characters in the Star Trek universe. When the character was killed off in the film Star Trek Nemesis, many Trek fans believed that he would one day be back. Now, thanks to Star Trek: Picard, they have been proven right when Data was raised from the dead not once, but twice! In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan continue their two-part discussion of Data. We talk about his death in Nemesis, what that death means in the larger context of pop culture, his first resurrection in season one of Star Trek: Picard, his (extremely) extended family, and finally his most recent incarnation in Picard’s third season!
